Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 344 Reporting names and so-called freedom

Residents who often live in Wuhun City know that recently it is a very special period in Wuhun City. Many new faces have come from all over the north and south, speaking dialects with different voices, and wearing different styles of clothes. But most of them have unified expectations for the future.

Although for the residents of Wuhun City, it was not surprising that outsiders came to this mainland holy city, even if there were many visitors, it was not unheard of.

After all, this is Wuhun City, the city where the final schedule of each continental soul master elite competition is held. Every five years, they can see people flocking from all over the continent to participate in or watch the competition.

But this time is a little different, most of the large number of people who came back to the Holy Land of Soul Masters in Wuhun City are not noble soul masters, but ordinary people like the vast majority of people on the mainland.

And their purpose of coming to Wuhun City is to obtain the opportunity to change their own destiny, to participate in the Wuhun City Imperial Examination where ordinary people can also sign up and jump in class.

Although the imperial examination in Wuhun City is open to the people of the whole mainland, whether it is soul masters or ordinary people, it is not worth it for most soul masters.

Even if you pass, you can only be a secretary in charge of the staff, or the director of the street office in Wuhun City.And as soul masters, even if they don't join other big forces, they directly join the Spirit Hall. Wouldn't it be easier for them to climb up and get these or even higher positions than exams?

Therefore, most of the people who came here are still ordinary people, and most of the small number of soul masters are also spies sent by major forces to find out.

At the entrance of the church in the East District, the priest who was in charge of signing for the registration information stamped heavily the seal of the Wuhun Palace on the registration information form that had already been stamped with the seal of the Principality of Silvis of the Heaven Dou Empire, and then put the registration form on the On top of the tall pile of papers stacked in boxes at his feet.

Although it has been handed in once before, I didn't expect these registration forms to be stacked so high now...

The priest turned his body slightly, his eyelids slightly raised, and glanced at the back of the line.

Phew~ Fortunately, there are not many people left, and it probably won't be long before all the registration information in the Eastern District can be collected!

Thinking of this, the priest who had been sitting at the door of the church for a whole day almost cheered, he could finally take a rest and stretch himself!

Don’t blame the priest, you can also imagine that if you are sitting behind a table, facing a long queue, with all the crowds in your sight, you have to keep looking up and down to check with your watch. Cervical and lumbar vertebrae are completely devastated!

In fact, the people who came to Wuhun City to participate in the imperial examination were all screened and screened.

Those who are willing to participate in various places need to go to the local county and town church to pass the first verification of the local priest, and those who cannot read and write and basic calculations will be eliminated.

Then those who have passed the test can use the priest's pass certificate to go to the branch of the Wuhun Temple in the main city where they belong to for the second round of verification, and remove those who are not qualified in ideological and moral cultivation (the content of the assessment is based on the "Thinking" textbook issued by the Wuhun Temple ), and then choose the best among the remaining people, and preliminarily determine the list of people who can go to Wuhun City to participate in the imperial examination.

After the list is initially determined, the local bishop still needs to submit the list to the city lord for confirmation and review. After the city lord confirms that it is correct, and removes the characters on the government blacklist, the city lord will submit it to the province/principal for final verification. Then, the list will be returned to the bishops of various places, and the local Wuhun Temple will make a registration and certification form for the participants, one copy will be issued to the individual, and the other will be sent to Wuhun City.

After going through this series of lengthy procedures, those who can finally qualify for the test are considered a minority among the minority.

but!

Although the ratio is small, the base is too large...

This is the first opportunity open to everyone on the mainland, and it is also the first olive branch extended to ordinary people. Many people want it, so there are especially many people who sign up.

Even after passing the screening, there are thousands of candidates from the Heaven Dou Empire, and a few hundred candidates from the Star Luo Empire, not to mention the residents of Spirit City itself.

These thousands of people were scattered to the four districts of Wuhun City, east, west, north, south, to submit reports. The huge workload made the reviewers extremely tired.

When the daylight was getting dark and the moon was light, the priest in the East District was finally about to finish his work.

After receiving the last document, the priest glanced at it. According to the number on it, he flipped through the roster on the table, and said while looking for it:
"Let me see... Slave... Your name is a bit strange... People from Wuhun City... Your identity is... Slave... Slave!!"

Seeing the identity at the end of the information, this special identity made the priest who had seen many identities today couldn't help exclaiming.

Don't blame him, because the status of a slave is indeed surprising enough.After all, in Douluo Continent, slaves are one level lower than ordinary people, and they are "items" that completely lose their human rights.

The priest's exclamation made the people around the church couldn't help but look over, their eyes wandered, and finally fell on the shabby young man who was at a loss in front of the church.

That strange sight made the young man who was already lacking in confidence shrink back even more, and Ganchai's legs trembled a little. With his messy-haired head lowered, his voice became lower and lower:

"Yes...but I am a male slave in the city, a male slave who specializes in building cities and feeding horses...no master...not a private slave who escaped...and I have passed the assessment...should be able to participate The... proclamation did not say that slaves could not take the exam..."

The young man's voice gradually faded, and finally only his lips were still moving silently, becoming more and more silent amidst the discussions of the people around him.

Hearing this slave's words, the priest holding the seal and registration form in his hand was a little hesitant for a while. After hesitating for a while, he looked at the trembling guy, gritted his teeth, and finally decided on the proof. Stamped.

Although he is a slave, he has indeed passed the diocesan audit, and there is no property dispute of the slave owner, so he should pass if he does not violate the regulations.

Even if there is a problem, it shouldn't be my little priest who is responsible for it!The priest comforted himself in this way.

"What happened?"

Just as the priest was about to put the registration certification form into the box below, a female voice came from the church behind.

The priest immediately got up and looked back, and then saw a woman with red hair and a white teaching uniform coming out, her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was wondering what happened at the door of the church.

Seeing this, the priest quickly put the registration certification form in his hand in front of him, and then walked towards the woman.

He knew who this woman was. She was an envoy sent by Her Majesty the Holy Maiden to manage the imperial examination order in the Eastern District. She was also in charge of the list.

The priest decided to leave the final decision on this matter to the special envoy, so he walked quickly to her side and explained the whole story in a low voice.

And this so-called special envoy was exactly Huo Wu, the opponent of Shrek's children.

However, she has experienced failures and participated in training with many geniuses in Wuhundian, and now she has lost most of her arrogance. She is no longer as domineering as she is now, and she has calmed down a lot. See her former vigor.

After learning about the situation, Huo Wu looked at the young man cowering in front of the church, nodded to the priest next to him, and then said to the young man and everyone around him:
"The imperial examination of Wuhun Palace is open to all people in the whole continent, including not only soul masters and ordinary people, but also those slaves who belong to the public. All approved candidates are eligible to participate in the imperial examination of Wuhun City. Exceptions, regardless of status."

"This rascal, of course, is the same."

After saying this, he didn't look at the people around him, motioned to the priest beside him, then turned and left.

Turning around and picking up the large stack of application forms, the priest glanced at the dazed slave, smiled and nodded, and then walked into the church with a large box of materials.

For a moment, only the ragged young man was left in front of the church door. Looking at the brightly lit church, there seemed to be lights flickering in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

……

After nightfall, Huo Wu, who was reviewing the applicants' materials in the East District Church, raised her head and closed her eyes for a while to recuperate, to relieve the fatigue of her eyes. When she lowered her head, she saw the burning and dancing candles on the table. Dialogue with the saint.

"Your Highness, I see that even slaves are eligible to participate in the imperial examination you designed, but the items of the examination are slightly different, and the reward for passing the first time is not an official but a release from slavery. Since you want to release them Why do you have to go around such a big circle? The male slaves in Wuhun City can be released directly, wouldn't it be fine?"

"Slaves really shouldn't exist...But people don't thank the giver for getting it easily, and they don't cherish what they get. They even blame the well-meaning giver for changing their original life."

"So for them, what they should get most is not direct freedom, but a way to gain freedom and improve themselves."

"What's more, I've been thinking about..."

"Forcibly 'granting' others' 'freedom' against one's will, can it really be regarded as freedom?"
